Dont open it with any text editor of any kind, if you accidentally edit anything in there incorrectly its not ideal. even changing the formatting can cause issues. 

 

You need one of these Tactrix Openport 2.0 

The application to open the file is ECUFlash which can be found here http://www.openecu.org/index.php?title=EcuFlash

Romraider is another great tool for editing the ROM and Logging the car 

 

Given the level you are at, My suggestion would be get someone that knows more to flash the rom on for you. Then they can run some data-logging and ensure its doing the right things for your car. That being said if you want to learn more we all start somewhere so the other suggestion would be read a whole lot about tuning and logging before moving any further on making an actual change, then when you have a good understanding go buy a cable and start with just datalogging and understanding the current tune on the car... 

 

 

Thanks so much guys for the info. Looks like I may just get someone else to do it for me, not as simple as I initially thought haha. Would this tune be useful for tuners? Or would they have their own tunes. This one seems pretty good just going off of what the description says

Just relate the URL name to the file name mate, 

 

So from the archive uploaded by @thewabbit1 the file you are looking for will be 90b75-b4attemptquattro.bin

When I open that file on a word document, it comes up with a whole paragraph of codes. I assume that is correct and expected? And after that, how do I upload this tune onto my ECU? Someone mentioned tactrix cable, is that the only thing needed to transfer this tune onto my ecu through my laptop? Thanks

This might be useful and I figured best to get it online before I go and accidentally wipe it

 

https://ufile.io/9547e <-- ECU definition for ECUflash. I've forgotten the ins and outs of it, but you need to replace what it tries to open the legacy stock rom with, with this

 

https://ufile.io/caf54 <-- The last tune I loaded onto my wagon, some emphasis on off-throttle pops and bangs with this one. It's pretty aggressive and my car had FMIC, 2.5" downpipes and silicone intake pipe - your mileage may vary as those things do make a marked difference to how much it wants to grenade. That said - it still runs less timing on boost than the stock rom does

 

https://ufile.io/90b75 <-- A pretty safe tune for 95% of the cars out there, loading this on will result in the VOD being effectively gone, ping gone on gull or BP 98, and vastly improved mileage. I think it's pretty safe on 95 as well from memory but please see above

 

I've got a dozen other variations if anyone wants them, still have stock flashes off auto and manual GTB's and I think I have an S204 (202? whatever the sti B4 is) rom renamed something stupid which was not really any great improvement other than more revs and boost bro

 

I sold reflashed ECU's to a few in various states of modification who all came back with glowing feedback, it is a legit "best bang for the buck" thing you can do to these cars

 

Also I'm not dead, this is just the first time I've been on my car-S*** laptop for several months (ha) - currently driving a POS cedia turbo while saving for something worthwhile 

 

Hello there, sorry in advance if this is a stupid question; how do I install one of these tunes on my manual Rev D 02 RSK? I've only recently bought my car, so learning new things about it. About 2 weeks ago I changed my exhaust to a custom 3" with just a resonator, and a few days later I filled up with Gull fuel and I started hearing some weird faint sounds at about 3,500RPM, could this be pinging? It didn't go away with BP 98 either. Was running fine with Mobil 98, and I have just put some more Mobil in it, dunno if it's gone yet. I'd like to buy tune number three depending on the cost, just wanna know how I'd make it work. The rest of the car is fully stock. Thanks in advance.
